Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. adapted the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider from the All-New Ghost Rider comic books during its fourth season, but heavily implied that Blaze was the Ghost Rider responsible for giving Reyes his superpowers.
Nonetheless, there are no doubt fans who agree with Taylor about Ghost Rider deserving a R-rated adaptation, just as there are certainly those who feel the Robbie Reyes version on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is sufficiently grisly and horrifying.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance co-director Brian Taylor says he has “no interest” in the version of the Rider featured on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series, and would prefer to see a R-rated version of the character brought to life instead.
S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s version of the Robbie Reyes character is played by Gabriel Luna and quickly became a fan-favorite, following his introduction in season 4.
